Bought a PM9 at the same time as the 45 and it has been flawless, not an issue. So, maybe it's luck of the draw or it could be a sign to steer clear of new products 
Hindsight can give us perspective on life in general but more so with guns. During my issues with the PM45 I was ticked, I laid out nearly $600 bucks for a carry gun I had carefully selected and it wouldn't run. So, I understand how the OP feels and if you've never had an issue then good for you. I will say I've never understood the break in period they described going in and thought they were full of it as I have owned more than my share of firearms and they ran right out of the box. Namely, Smith and Wesson, Colts, Aresenal and Glocks. |
Kahrs have super-tight tolerances for such small guns. You would not want one that was "Glock loose" (this is coming from a Glock owner). Guns with tight tolerences have to be slicked up, and that takes a good bit of shooting before becoming reliable, and they are usually very accurate, especially for the diminuitive size. 1911's have this trouble a lot, but folks that buy them understand they need that break-in period and often some smith work before they are just right. Same reason newer cars need to be broken in the first 5,000 miles unlike the old 8 bangers of yesteryear.
